About our gutter survey in Kings Worthy
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that usually means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We survey parapet and box gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers, and people most frequently book us about downpipes that are split or coming away and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water.
In a small place like Kings Worthy, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Local roofs in Kings Worthy
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Winchester station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building like Kings Worthy Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Kings Worthy can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it’s guesswork from ground level. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kings Worthy can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

- What’s prompted the survey

Kings Worthy questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Kings Worthy?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Kings Worthy?
Yes, Kings Worthy is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so the report covers what can be seen.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
